Several months passed.
The deaths of two Divine Path Mountain elders had left the entire Great Jin Immortal Cultivation World on edge, every rustle of wind and cry of a crane setting nerves aflame.
Fortunately, Divine Path Mountain had not taken any overly drastic action over the matter.
Qin Ming naturally knew that Divine Path Mountain had grander ambitions. Their attention was wholly focused on the secret realm beneath Five Elements Mountain, and they did not wish for any unforeseen complications.
As a result,
even after Divine Path Mountain lost two elders in succession, one of them even being a Nascent Soul seed, they had not launched a major offensive against the other two great powers.
It was clear that, in order to monopolize this Azure Origin Sect Secret Realm, Divine Path Mountain had chosen to act with greater caution and restraint.
A month later,
Qin Ming also received word from Hua Tianxiong that Divine Path Mountain was recruiting high-level Spirit Planters again.
They had also begun planting Third-Order Rot Spirit Grass at a frantic pace, preparing to concoct Spirit Eye Elixir and hasten the flowering of that Seven Wonders Treasure Tree.
However, Qin Ming followed the Devouring Sky Rat through the tunnels it had dug and went to inspect the place himself.
At Divine Path Mountain's crude method, it would likely take another hundred years of watering it with spirit liquid before the tree could bloom.
"It seems that, before the secret realm at Five Elements Mountain is discovered by other forces, it will remain safe for the time being."
"But the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation World change as unpredictably as clouds and wind. Divine Path Mountain will likely find it difficult to conceal this secret forever."
"When that time comes, chaos will surely rise again."
